How to treat ovarian cancer caused by upper heat and lower cold

Ovarian cancer is a disease that is difficult to treat. In fact, if we want to effectively cure ovarian cancer, we must first know where to start the corresponding treatment and how to choose the treatment method that suits us. Here I will tell you how to treat ovarian cancer caused by upper heat and lower cold.

(I) Treatment principles: Ovarian malignant tumors are treated mainly with surgery, supplemented by radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other comprehensive treatments.

(II) Surgical treatment. The first step in surgery is a detailed exploration, including peritoneal lavage, palpation of pelvic and abdominal organs and pelvic and retroperitoneal lymph nodes, and multiple biopsies of the diaphragm, peritoneum, and greater omentum, in order to accurately stage the tumor. Surgical methods are divided into radical surgery and conservative surgery that preserves fertility.

The scope of thorough surgery includes bilateral adnexa, uterus, omentum, appendectomy and pelvic and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. For patients with extensive pelvic tumor implantation and metastasis, it is recommended to perform tumor cell reduction surgery as much as possible. Williams et al. reported that the complete remission rate of postoperative chemotherapy was 83% for patients with clean surgical resection, and the complete remission rate of postoperative chemotherapy was 42% for patients with basically clean resection. Therefore, although malignant germ cell tumors are sensitive to combined chemotherapy, removing the tumor as cleanly as possible during surgery is still the key to successful treatment.

(III) Chemotherapy. Since ovarian tumors spread very early, surgery cannot remove the lesions in most cases, and the effect and application of radiotherapy are also very limited. Therefore, systemic chemotherapy is an important auxiliary treatment method. For some advanced patients, the tumor can be reduced after chemotherapy, creating favorable conditions for reoperation.

These are all things we need to know when we are treating ovarian cancer. Although ovarian cancer is a malignant tumor and difficult to treat, we must build up confidence in the treatment, so that the subsequent treatment effect will be relatively better. I hope these can help everyone.
